Epic Bike Rides of the World

A collection of 200 epic bike rides from around the world. From France to Mongolia, there will be something for everyone, experienced cyclist to beginners. The book is organised by continent. In the Americas we join a family bikepacking trip in Ecuador; we pedal the Natchez Trace Parkway and stop at legendary music spots; we ride the Pacific Coast Highway in Oregon and California; go mountain biking in Moab and Canada; and explore the cities of Buenos Aires and New York by bicycle.

Whether you're a seasoned cyclist or you're looking to embark on your first bike-packing holiday, you'll find expert tips and practical information including when to go and where to stay, to help make planning your trip a total breeze.
